Hi guys ,
maybe you can help me to investigate this issue …
when I’m running my build like :

ionic cordova run android --release -> have no issues and all good

ionic cordova run android --release – prod I got this error and I try to find out what is that :

TypeError: Object prototype may only be an Object or null: undefined
at setPrototypeOf (native)
at Object.__extends (/Users/x/projects/y/node_modules/tslib/tslib.js:64:9)

Fixed by removing the node_modules inside ng2-swipe package in the project …
(and doing it again each time npm i done in the project)

Facing the same error on ‘ionic cordova build android --prod’. Tried removing node_modules folder and npm install but nothing is working. Any solutions?

Hi @t4tapas, did you solve this to get work. Thanks

11

Yes. In my case in my package.json class all angular version was 5.2.11 but @angular/compiler-cli version was 8. So I changed it to 5.2.11, deleted node_modules and did npm install. It worked.
